In order to have mass appeal of this nature, the course has to bedesigned in such a way that it appeals to engineers and biologists, to chemists and economists, tofinance majors and arts students alike. It can be appreciated that in light of the aforementioneddiscussion, designing such a course is quite a tall order. The steps followed in achieving thisobjective are described in this paper.BackgroundThe objective of this project was to address demonstrable need to upgrade course TCGT 1530entitled “Science, Technology and the Environment” within the technology department of auniversity in the southeast United States. The aforementioned course is part of the corecurriculum at GSU. Enrolment in this course has routinely been approximately
